About the restaurant

True to its name, the Chef’s Table feels gloriously indulgent, inviting lucky diners on a hedonistic journey encapsulating Antonio Pérez’s life in Puerto Rico and his culinary career across South America, Europe, and Asia. The setting feels intimate and wildly special, with just 12 seats surrounding the open kitchen, complemented by a lounge area for a welcome cava before dinner or a post-tasting menu digestif. The themed-driven five-course menu changes monthly along with its wine pairing.
This is not merely another dining experience; it’s an intimate journey through the heart and soul of a Puerto Rican cook and his global culinary influences. Do not reserve a number of diners higher than desired, in our kitchen everything is prepared for all confirmed reservations, as such, we will regard it as a no show who has failed to comply with the reservation. If you wish to cancel your reservation, please give us at least three day’s notice. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.

We had an incredible time at Ever Restaurant. 7-course chef’s tastings (plus a couple of surprise courses!). Every dish was incredible, combining such unique flavors and textures, and each plated beautifully. Ever, the chef, and his crew were so friendly. It felt like we were part of a big family meal by the end of the experience. Highly highly recommend! When we come back to Aruba we will definitely come back to Ever.

Wonderful food and a lovely little area. Service was quite slow otherwise was a perfect evening The entire menu is on blackboard and it’s hard to see the prices which I think is just as well since everything is very expensive. Def recommend and book ahead.

Incredible meal! We went with the chef’s choice and even my picky husband loved the food. To find the place, there is no sign but a bench out front and a poster of a governor hanging across the street. And they keep the door locked since there is no room for standing inside—don’t be dismayed, they’re quick to see you and open it.

We had a fantastic evening at Marmalade, what an unexpected find in Old San Juan! Our guide for the evening, Gabrielle was very knowledgeable about all our courses and the wines that Chef paired with each. The signature white bean soup was incredible, sweet pea pasta with rabbit and B3 dessert - all highly recommended! It was hard to make a bad decision. Great conversation and a really wonderful experience, thank you!

About the restaurant

“SUR” is derived from the curiosity of wanting to explore, venture, feel, know, understand and experience the unknown. It comes from the desire to contribute and create awareness; It is the recognition of the differences that unite us; It is the respect we owe to nature that drives this desire to tell stories through sensations. If as a team we manage to bring an experience so extraordinary that you left with a smile, then we have completed our mission.

About the restaurant

Next to the 'Old Mill' in Aruba you'll find a unique new restaurant, 'The Journey'. Michelin star trained chef Patrick van der Donk (Amuse Sunset restaurant) has made a very intimate chef's table concept.

Credit card information will be required in order to hold reservation as well confirmation by phone.

Not your usual bar seating set-up! Here you are able to dine at you own separate tables and still have a view of the chef creating your 5 1/2 course meal for a max of 20 guests per evening.
Price $130 per dinner and $80 for the optional wine paring, small bar available.
The evening starts at our cozy lounge with delicious hors d'oeuvres and bubbles, inside at a small and stylish set-up the chef will prepare every dish in front of his guests taking time to invite his guests over for a chat, he might even ask to help plating his dishes which gives a truly extraordinary dining experience. The menu changes frequently, classic dishes with a twist prepared with the best ingredients.

Absolutely excellent experience, ambience and food. I thoroughly enjoyed the wine pairings and the journey through the various flavors of each of the five courses. I have been visiting Aruba for 25+ years and this is the best meal I have had in Aruba. Thank you very much Chef Patrick! We will be back next year.
